After a nice warm up Wednesday, a cold front will knock your temperatures back down. Wednesday saw both high and low temperatures slightly above climatological normals for our area at this time of year.

This cold front is passing through our area now, so you will feel the coldest air by Thursday morning. Remember, a cold front divides two different air masses. We were in the warmer one Wednesday and will be in the colder on Thursday.

Practically, that will look like low temperatures below freezing Thursday morning and high temperatures in the 50s again. High temperatures won't be back to what we saw Wednesday until early next week.

Oh, and by the way, this is the first of three upcoming cold fronts. Friday brings the second one with more rain but not as big of a temperature drop.
